Meet The Self-Trained Composer Funky-fying Final Fantasy Music
Alex Moukala is trying to popularize video game music by putting a funky twist on his favorite songs.
You may have seen his videos floating around social media, relatively short snippets of him jamming out to groovy remixes of songs like Final Fantasy VII s One-Winged Angel by Nobuo Uematsu. What Alex Moukala is attempting to do, he explains on Twitter, is normalize video game music to make the sounds he grew up with and was inspired by more accessible to the masses. His process: take a popular video game track, split it in half, send a funky bassline and catchy kick drum pattern through the whole thing, and crank the volume all the way up.
